[Blind-rollers] doors

[Holly Alonzo]

Good point, but I'm deaf and blind.  I go somewhere with someone all of
the time.  I have to for them to be an SSP for me let me know what is
going on around me or what people are saying to me.  It's usually6 my
husbadn or one of my parents.  So that usually isn't a problem for me,
although it could be.

May God grant me the strength to accept what I can not change.

reminds me of grad school when I went down to the dorm kitchen to make 
something. No one was there --  can't remember if it was a holiday or 
something -- and I accidently knocked the door shut behind me. It opened

inward so I had to turn around to pull it open again, and it was heavy.
The 
problem was that I couldn't turn around in that narrow galley kitchen.
Then 
the fire alarm went off, and didn't stop. I tried everything to get that

blasted door open but couldn't do it -- yelling the whole time. Someone 
finally came, and it was a drill anyway, but I have to laugh at it now.
Happy Columbus Day. --le

Holly think about fire doors and how they automatically close after you.
Now you don't need anything that heavy duty for a door.  We got ours at
Wal Mart. Ours though was for a gate so not strong enough to close a
door I would not think anyway.  So a hard ware store should know exactly
what you need. Ours was two metal plates on a hinge. The hinge has a
spring. You can pull apart the metal plates, but boy watch your fingers
when you let go. The spring will clap the metal together.

I don't know though what one would look like for a door, maybe similar,
but I don't know.

Didn't know they made such a thing.  How does it work?  Where can I look
at one?  Thanks.

How about installing a door closer?
